Benefits of technology

[0006]In a first exemplary embodiment, a packaged terminal air conditioner unit is provided. The packaged terminal air conditioner unit includes a casing. A compressor is positioned within the casing. The compressor is operable to increase a pressure of a refrigerant. An interior coil is also positioned within the casing. An exterior coil is positioned within the casing opposite the interior coil. A reversing valve is positioned within the casing. The reversing valve is in fluid communication with the compressor in order to receive compressed refrigerant from the compressor. The reversing valve is configured for selectively directing the compressed refr

Problems solved by technology

Due to space constraints within the casing, selection of sealed system components for packaged terminal air conditioner units can be limited.
For example, relatively small heat exchangers are generally used in packaged terminal air conditioner units due to space constraints within the casing.

Abstract

A packaged terminal air conditioner unit includes a phase separator positioned within a casing of the packaged terminal air conditioner unit. The phase separator is coupled to a supply conduit that extends between an exterior coil and an interior coil of the packaged terminal air conditioner unit. The phase separator is configured for separating liquid refrigerant within the supply conduit from vapor refrigerant within the supply conduit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present subject matter relates generally to packaged terminal air conditioner units.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Certain heat pump systems include a sealed system for chilling and / or heating air with refrigerant. The sealed systems generally include a throttling device for restricting a flow of refrigerant between an outdoor heat exchanger or coil and an indoor heat exchanger or coil of the sealed system. Various throttling devices are available, including capillary tubes, J-T valves, electronic expansion valves, etc. Within the throttling device, at least a portion of the refrigerant within the flow of refrigerant may vaporize.[0003]Packaged terminal air conditioner units generally include a casing and a sealed system. Due to space constraints within the casing, selection of sealed system components for packaged terminal air conditioner units can be limited. For example, relatively small heat exchangers are generally used in packaged terminal air...
